You wouldn't need a spring compressor for removal but, to replace that rubber seat you may. I'm not sure but, it looks like its a ring on the tein site.

Well the springs slide right off the coilover and the rubber piece just sits right under the spring, so who knows.

If it slides off than you wouldn't need one I apologize.

For coil overs, you typically do not need a spring compressor. All the spring tension comes after the car is lowered down. When you remove the coil over assembly, there is no tension on the springs and if there is, you can use the spanner wrench to loosen up the spring mount and then slide the springs right off.

Good to know.

Awesome, welcome to the club.  Have you, or do you plan on, replacing them?

Haven't yet because it's recent.  I do plan on replacing them all around next summer though.  Either that or I'm going to replace my suspension.
